You'd have to ask Lennart himself to know for sure, but I'm fairly certain he didn't do the development solely as root... With any new software, there are typically growing pains though. > Does someone have a different experience with it? No problems I've noticed on any of my own boxes, everything still seems to work just fine.

Yes, on a clean F8 install, there's a thingy in the Gnome Sound & Video menu called "PulseAudio Volume Control", provided by the package pavucontrol. PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) is a simple GTK based volume control tool ("mixer") for the PulseAudio sound server. In contrast to classic mixer tools this one allows you to control both the volume of hardware devices and of each playback stream separately. Assuming you upgraded straight from FC6 to F8, I'd have to wager at least some of your issues could be due to something not quite being handled properly with skipping F7. All my clean F8 installs and F7 boxes upgraded to F8 are behaving perfectly normally with respect to audio, anyhow. > Does it work on top of alsa or does it replace it.
